I remember the snapping turtles from a long time ago... canoeing over the lake shallows.

How do you make small text?/
The pull-down menu that says [Size] right above the other formatting commands. '2' is normal, '1' is small. Just go back to '2' to cancel.

Hey, you little bugger! You already did it. What are you asking for?

How do people make a post with just a smiley and no text? I always get a message saying that I must have at least 10 characters.

Hardly a meeting or convention exists but could be enhanced by promotional material from the Tourist department of Bad Lauterberg.

It counts the characters you have to type for the smiley.

Hey, thanks! I never thought of that. (Have to make it something innocent, though, since it'll show up in the quote screen.)

Unfortunately for you, my screen colour is set to very light grey for doing art, so white shows up. :-p :biggrin:

this is my idea of an abstract turtle:

<gasp>[/URL] I WANT IT! :!)

Actually it's not abstract at all, the other part of the sculpture, the lid (or shell) has been lost. The two pieces, made in Taiwan, were originally sold at Walmart for $5.95. The bottom piece (seen above) somehow made it's way to an exclusive art dealer in NY who assuming the piece was making a statement as a "non-actual abstract turtle", is offering it for sale for $15,900.

Well, Danger, everyone has that. Select the text to see it more easily.

Most turtles carry poison darts in secret hidden pouches under their skin.

What I meant is that I don't have to. My screen isn't white, so white text isn't hidden.

edit: Gonna be late for pool. Don't kill each other before I get back.

I was getting it from the movie. Actually the radio. A long time ago I heard that song on the radio in a far place.

This happen to my non-actual abstract sculptures all the time. I sell them for $30, and see them for sale a year later in NY for $30,000. It's very irritating.

:smile: Yes, there are a lot of people who think turtles look better without their shells.

BT is abstractly actual.

Actually, BicycleTree is a neo-representationalist.

For a long time I considered myself a schematic representionalist, but that's all changed.

I don't believe you've understood a word you've said.
 
  • #5,687
Indeed, I have come to eschew the philosophy that all of man's work is done to produce representation, that the great tragedies and heroisms of times past are only as important as the written history they produced, and that the end of all great science is in the transcription.

You're only pushing him further in the direction he's already pointed.

And who is this Bartholemew guy that is showing up as having posted in this thread. I don't see his post anywhere. Anyone else see the name Bartholemew?

It's agood thing you're practising the coinage of phrases like "schematic representationalist" because it will distract some people from the fact you can't draw.

It's the thread ghost. Not only is this thread alive, it has had it's own thread and now a ghost of a member that mysteriously vanished while trying to kill the thread. :bugeye:

Sounds like your an actual, historical, abstract artists: "Well, I used to be able to draw".
 
  • #5,699
No, I can still draw actual stuff, pretty realistically.

Yeah, I thought I drew a lot better when I was 5 than I do now. :smile: I was a very good abstract artist then. :-p
